It can be hard to tell whether you like a garment when said garment is on a person this astonishing. (That little portable pedestal of sorts made me laugh; I assume it's... to help them get in or out of the boats? But I don't think I've noticed it before.) Anyway, I DO also think the dress might be great. but she is undeniably also wearing the magnificent hell out of it.

And there were sunglasses. I don't tend to like this style as much, but again, she's found some that she can slay.
